[English]

How should I say it

I've liked you for a very long time

I.. I.. I've always liked you

What would change if I said it now

You, with a heart that won't change

Are like a deeply rooted tree

A flower God carefully crafted

Don't disappear, don't change

Nobody knows that I like you

Nobody likes you, even when I look at other girls

I'm sorry, I don't have the courage

Go ahead, laugh at me all you want, yeah, I'm

A loser, loser, loving you

Yeah, I'm an idiot, idiot

To you, I'm just a leech, a side dish

You're all I need in this world

Baby I'm only yours

I'm only yours Oh no

Na na na na na na, in the end, I

Am always a loser in front of love

Hmm hmm, how should I say it

I think I'll still like you a lot

Why can't I say it

I'm like a discouraged kid

Hmm hmm, don't meet other people

Don't break my heart like that

Am I too much for you, who is perfect

My empty heart is a vacant lot

But my head is exploding

Oh, how did my heart become like this

Nobody knows that I like you

Nobody likes you, even when I look at other girls

I'm sorry, I don't have the courage

Go ahead, laugh at me all you want, yeah, I'm

A loser, loser, loving you

Yeah, I'm an idiot, idiot

To you, I'm just a leech, a side dish

You're all I need in this world

Baby I'm only yours

I'm only yours Oh no

Na na na na na na, in the end, I

Am always a loser in front of love

Yuto-da

You become my memory

Just looking at you gives me strength

The sky is shining

I hope my heart reaches you

Even if I don't say it, know know know

My heart is always you, you, you

I want to walk with you, beautiful you

Everybody knows

There's something I want to say

Listen to my heart

I get nervous when I stand in front of you

Yeah, love you love you love you

Like you like you like you

I love you

A loser, loser, loving you

Yeah, I'm an idiot, idiot

To you, I'm just a leech, a side dish

You're all I need in this world

(Everybody says)

Nun-nu-nan-na, you and me

(My baby)

Close your eyes, what should we do

(Kiss)

Gu-gu-ka-ka, butterfly

Now, finally

I will always shine in front of love

[Korean]

나는 뭐랄까 음

아주 오래전부터 너를 음

조.. 조.. 좋아했었다고 늘

지금 말한다면 뭐가 달라질까요

달라질게 없는 맘을 가진 너는

마치 뿌리 깊은 나무 같아서

신이 곱게 빚은 한 송이의 Flower

사라지지 마 달라지지 마

내가 너를 좋아해도 Nobody knows

다른 여잘 봐도 Nobody likes you

용기가 없어서 I'm sorry

더 맘껏 비웃어 그래 나는

너를 사랑하는 찌질이 찌질이

그래 나는 머저리 머저리

난 너한테는 거머리 겉절이

이 세상 너 하나면 돼

Baby I'm only yours

I'm only yours Oh no

나나난난나난 결국에 난

난 사랑 앞에선 늘 찌질이

음 음 나는 뭐랄까

아직도 많이 좋아할 것 같아

왜 대체 말을 못할까

기죽은 어린애 같다

음 음 다른 사람 만나지 마

내 가슴 무너지게 그러지 마요

빈틈없는 그대에게 난 무리일까요

텅 빈 맘은 공터인데

머릿속은 터지네

Oh 맘 언제 이렇게 돼버렸나요

내가 너를 좋아해도 Nobody knows

다른 여잘 봐도 Nobody likes you

용기가 없어서 I'm sorry

더 맘껏 비웃어 그래 나는

너를 사랑하는 찌질이 찌질이

그래 나는 머저리 머저리

난 너한테는 거머리 겉절이

이 세상 너 하나면 돼

Baby I'm only yours

I'm only yours Oh no

나나난난나난 결국에 난

난 사랑 앞에선 늘 찌질이

유토다

네가 나의 추억이 돼

보고만 있어도 힘이 나네

이 하늘에 빛이 나네

내 맘이 너에게 닿기를 바라

말하지 않아도 Know know know

언제나 내 맘은 너 너 너

아름다운 그대와 걸어가고 싶어

Everybody knows

한가지 말할 게 있어

Listen to my heart

난 네 앞에 서면 떨려

그래 Love you love you love you

Like you like you like you

너를 사랑해

너를 사랑하는 찌질이 찌질이

그래 나는 머저리 머저리

난 너한테는 거머리 겉절이

이 세상 너 하나면 돼

(Everybody says)

눈누난나 너와 나

(My baby)

눈을 감아 뭐 할까

(뽀뽀)

구구까까 Butterfly

이제야 난

나 사랑 앞에선 늘 빛나리
